I know, I know. We really have the same problem back eaast here, But here we have far more than just two cities to contend with.

I drove through Biden’s home state - Delaware, before the elections.

The northern urbanized part of the state had Obama Biden signs everywhere. As soon as I got into the southern farming areas there were McCain/Palin and PALIN signs everywhere except in Lewes and few other small cities.

The Bolsheviks always start in big cities.

Smithsonian Magazine did a story on the spotted owl back in January or February. It turns out that the northern Spotted Owl has a new threat, the larger more aggressive Eastern Barred Owl. The Barred Owl has migrated into the northwest and where it is found, the Spotted Owl has disappeared.

He’s the best part of the article; while the author attempts to blame barred owl’s migration on “climate chaos,” it is clear that the barred owl’s range is not diminishing or moving, it’s simply expanding. And if you read between the lines, you would see why it has expanded to the Pacific Northwest from the Midwest. It’s because owls need trees to build nests. For centuries, the Great Plains were devoid of trees and the owls could not live there. The Great Plains were a barrier to expanding the owls’ range. But in the past several decades, the Arbor Day activists have been planting trees everywhere. Now the Barred Owls have enough trees across the Plains to act as a “bridge” and move into new territory! And they (not loggers) are now driving the Spotted Owl to the extinction that was probably inevitable.

Oh, yes, the owl-huggers have been done in by the tree-huggers! I love irony.
